Experience

Digital Signal Processing is one the key strengths for Spectrum DSI.  With DSP experience spanning dozens of industries, SDS can provide expert design services for applications including medical devices, cell phones, military radios, and other communications devices.   Our design experience also includes multi-DSP designs with up to four parallel processors.  Some of our key engineers have even given talks on behalf of Texas Instruments to educate the industry on multi-processing designs.

Digital Signal Processing

Digital Signal Processing comes in several forms, and SDS has experience creating and integrating DSP algorithms into DSP hardware solutions.  These algorithms include:

• Image Processing
• Motor Control
• Pattern Recognition
• Error Correction Codes
• Error Detection Codes
• Filtering
• Correlation
• Compression
• Encryption
  

Selecting the right processor can often be a difficult decision, and SDS can help to make this crucial decision based on our years of experience.   Digital Signal Processors are a completely different type of device than than traditional micro-processor/micro-controller.  SDS understands how to use optimize DSPs to maximize their performance.  Because of this, you can be sure that the final product will be the most powerful device for your investment and operating with the least amount of power consumption. 

SDS has worked with the following device families:  

Texas Instruments:

• C62XX
• C67XX
• C5X
• C54X
• C54XX
• C55XX
• C24XX
• C3X
• OMAP^TM

Analog Devices

• ADSP218X
• Blackfin^TM

Motorola

• DSP563XX
• StarCore^TM

SDS also has experience developing DSP algorithms with the following tools:

• Matlab
• Mathematica

Digital Signal Processing doesn't always need to occur in a Digital Signal Processor and this decision can be difficult to understand.  SDS has experience in designing DSP functions in FPGAs, micro-processors and within custom ASICs.  Let us help you understand the trade-offs so that you can make the best design decision.
